  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    In 3 winters of driving my R1T in ski country & sub-freezing temps, I have never once had to jump my primary or secondary 12V. Yes, as it has been pointed out, you can certainly do it if needed, but it should not be an issue. In my truck, access to the primary 12V system is through the bumper...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Have you seen a window sticker and TOTAL MSRP? I assume shipping price is equivalent to "destination charge" in this case? I ask b/c the destination fee (according to KBB) must be clearly itemized on the vehicle’s window sticker, separate from the MSRP, and cannot be eliminated...

    June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    I'm a BEV Terra reservation holder. I understand Scout's need to drive initial sales, so I'm fine waiting a little longer to get what I reserved. I also see the simplicity of the BEV as making it entirely possible that both variants could be rolled out - perhaps they run 3 weeks of Harvester...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Perfect example of an AI Fail, since there was no math involved. Regardless, simply pointing out that you stated that "Scout insisted on launching into a saturated $60K luxury market" (when Scout never said that) is hardly "an attack". It's clarity for those reading this board. It's also...

    I'm glad to see you have refuted your own AI post with an AI post. Well done.

    Check Engine - Needs to go away

    Good news people - in a modern EV truck you should demand more, and you will get more. Remember, you will be rolling around in a SW defined vehicle (in any modern EV or hybrid), so you will have much more specific messaging when there is any issue. There is SW managing your battery, SW...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Designing a $30K highly capable midsized EV truck as an established OEM 🍎 Designing a $60K highly capable, off road-ready fullsized EV truck as a brand new OEM 🍊 Show me just 1 quote from Scout Motors where they indicated that they wanted to launch into a saturated "$60K luxury segment" LOL...

    Would be cool to track our builds through the factory

    I'm all for the "no-nonsense, non-Disney, don't add more crap that could slow down production, or add more complexity" approach. I'm in the "be blown-away when you finally get to see your new Scout for the first-time in your driveway or at the factory" camp! LOL. Just my 02 cents tho 😁

    You would expect her to use the SEARCH FEATURE though 😜

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    Good news... The one I installed was a slightly softer material I think - super easy to install. Took like 2 mins!

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    I'm guessing the screens you will see in production will be quite good, and very easy to see in daylight - I would give it a chance, but still get a screen protector. I have one from a company called T-Wraps that is quite good, still looks like new after installing in 2022.

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    You can add a screen protector (with different finishes), and they help with fingerprints, cleaning and protection from scratches or other damage.

    Optional Diesel Range Extender for Scout EREV Models

    Its a moot point anyway, since Scout went through all the options years ago and landed on the solution that's in development now.

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    I'm with you 100% (and that also goes for boating / navigating by instrument at night when you also want to see better into the surrounding darkness). Amazing what lights and glare can do to your night vision. I have barely enough brightness on my screens to navigate effectively and pick-up...

    Clearly you didn't read my post and only looked at the pretty pictures! LOL.

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    Yes, you can still drive. In my case, this happened to me once back in 2022. I had the screen go blank while driving due to a SW bug (screen didn't "die" or "break", but I did get the black screen of death with no functionality while in the truck). The truck did not miss a single beat. I did a...

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    Physical buttons are mutually exclusive from a working infotainment screen - especially in an EV truck. You need the screen for many things that a button does not do. A button will not show you your SOC, and a button will not navigate you to the nearest charger, and a button will not show you a...

    Time of year for factory pick up.

    But think of the upside! Once you get that first one out of the way, the next one is easier!
